My wife found this nice 15" studio display on fleabay for 50 bucks. (isn't she special?) So now its in the spare bedroom full of all the scuzzy drives I could find, and with a flatbed scanner attached that I use sometimes.
I work on one of my hobbies in that room, so its available for research and background music.
So, its a network storage, scanning, research-entertainment server!

Yes but it won't be a truly multi-purpose geek system till it has a built in coffee maker. Does Braun or Black&Decker make one that is Quicksilver compatible? HAHA

I think I just passed everyone by today... :P
My friend just gave me his 15" aluminum PowerBook. IIRC, it's a 1.5Ghz model. The only thing wrong with it is the trackpad, which he busted while tinkering. I'm cleaning the case off now, with alcohol, as it's pretty messy... I'm surprised there aren't many scratches, but I don't think it left his house too often. Then I'm going to open it up, plug the cable back in to the logic board, power on and use my Graphire 3.
Hell, I think I'll run Kubuntu and WINE on my MacBook, and OS X on the new (to me!) PowerBook.
He wouldn't sell it to me, said he didn't want to go through the trouble of having it repaired, so he just gave it to me. I wish that would happen more often

I was given a 1.25 Alu 15" PB the other day. The screen was bust (not cracked) and lots of dents in it. I replaced most of the lid and now the only thing wrong with it is a slight dent near the power jack. Its fully loaded too, backlit keyboard, superdrive, 80GB HD and 2GB of Kingston RAM. And my boss gave me an ex-rental 20" ADC flat panel display. I love free stuff.

I was offered a free HP P4 2.8GHz tower at work last thursday and passed. It just needed a new HD and had 512mb ram but I would have little to no need for it.
Why can't I get offered free macs? :(
